Shit, pasko na! that was I told to myself (secretly) as I heard the choir singing a Christmas Carol on their final song. I attended Sunday Mass yesterday and decided to seat away from my friends and colleagues so that I cam concentrate well. I get so emotional, sad, and helpless. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. And for this incoming festive season, I will celebrate it lesser because I am here in Dubai. I am far from my family and from my beloved country, Philippines – the longest Christmas celebration you can find in the world.
The song was (to the tune of: “O little town of Bethlehem 1st Melody)
This Advent we await God’s reign
When greed and hate shall cease
And kindness dwells in human hearts
And all of us find peace.
O God of holiness and grace,
Illuminate this hour
With hope that we shall see Christ’s face
When he returns with power …
